It really is a shame, I was hoping that I might someday hit 5000 posts. I remember thinking that 744 days between my 3000th and 4000th posts was bad, and now here we are about 1000 days after that and I've only made another 253 posts.

At the risk of invoking "they said that about imageboards, too," what are the chances that reddit's going to slow down any time soon? It's still growing rapidly enough for the company behind it (whatever they're called now) to hire more people for staff purposes and I haven't seen anything come about to replace it.

I like the ideas provided by the layout concept of reddit. The site itself has the same issues any multi-million user open messageboard has, but the concept is cool. I miss forums dearly though. Forums and IRC.

Truth is, everyone chooses their preferred medium. The big flashy ones are liable to take away potential new users and distract old ones, but they seem to die down every 4 or so years, causing a sort of renaissance here when it happens.

The trick is growth isn't sustainable forever and new things steal mostly from other new things, impacting the oldest things less and less as time goes on.

Granted, that's because the pool of users to 'steal' becomes smaller, but small silver lining at least.

R.I.P Jul.

I mentioned this in the IRC already, but i'm generally surprised at how unpopular this forum is considering it's linked to TCRF. TCRF gets more or less featured on a Gaming Site once a month (Special note goes to Cracked, which every single article featuring it has over a million views.), and it really feels like that would help bring in more users. Hell, even the official SEGA forums (Which i used to post on.) have more people using it, despite the fact most people would probably have moved on to Sonic Stadium and/or Sonic Retro.

Though, with the general modification of the sidebar so it now makes it much clearer there's a message board for the Wiki, i feel like maybe Jul will start gaining some steam next time Cracked mentions TCRF.
